Smokey Goretooth here, clocking in with a new “Do I Suck?,” MetalSucks’ version of “Am I The Asshole?” where we take real life horror stories and bring them to our readers to decide if the OP sucks for some bullshit they may or may not have done. This week’s submission comes from a user named

Dutch metallic hardcore bandVisceral Contemptgot together in 2023 but the seeds were planted much earlier, when members’ former band Human Demise broke up a decade earlier.

Hey everybody, Dave Mustcomplain here. Still on the mend from that quadruple bypass from the other week, not like any of you blue-haired freaks give a shit. Been spending my time catching up on Yellowstone and sharing Charlie Kirk tribute memes on Facebook. Triggered so many libs that I’m now down to only 17 friends,

We have a brand new video, “Living Resources,” from long-running Chilean melodic DM outfit Projector, who are set to issue their first new full-length,Before the Last Light, in more than 10 years. This quintet—Ivon Sepulveda (bass), Esteban Ponce (drums), Felipe Pradenas (guitars), Rodrigo Bocaz (guitars), Rodrigo Salazar (vocals)—may be living in the Southern Hemisphere, but

Hey, everyone – It’s a sad day for theDecibelfamily, as one of our own has suffered a tragic loss. Many readers will recall our interview withKrieg frontman andDecibelcontributor Neill Jameson, in which he detailed his wife Nikki’s long battle with cancer, his daughter’s autism diagnosis, and a tidal wave of disasters with his house and

Listen, no matter how many times you try and say you won’t buy another limited edition variant of a record you already have at least two copies of – you always will. There’s something about our mammal brain that makes us go, ‘pretty shapez and colorz’ whenever what should be a black LP is in

Okay, listen up. Your band has no draw, and you’re about to default on your last seven guitar purchases. Why they’re all identical B.C. Rich Warlocks is beyond me. If you had any merch or put out any physical releases, you could hustle hard and start reinvesting in yourself, but we both know you’re incapable

In the mid to late 2010s, American hardcore saw some of its brightest years, particularly on the metal-influenced side of the spectrum. That resurgence of interest led to a ton of beloved releases from bands like Soul Glo, Year of the Knife, Ecostrike and Vein, but it also put the spotlight back on genre classics

Where they from?Fed Ash are from Syracuse, NY and the HIRS Collective is from Philadelphia. Woke up this morning sick as a dog but here I am, still writing about grindcore for you beautiful people. Any misspellings should be attributed to the copious amount of DayQuil I’ve been taking. Why the hype?Both Fed Ash and

Alright, is this supposed to be some kind of a practical joke or something? Here I am, lying in my hospital bed after my fourth heart attack, and MetalSucks assigns me an article by some band called Left to Die? Hahaha, really fucking funny guys. If my strength wasn’t temporarily reduced to that of a

For enthusiasts of both crunchy and smooth, we offer up the talents of new Swedish atmospheric black metal duoGrey Shoresand their debut single, “The Withering Tree.” Formed by Martin Andersson and Vilhelm Andersson (we’re not sure if they’re related), Grey Shores juxtapose harsh black metal sounds with post-metal ambient soundscapes, clean singing and ample melody

My Dying Bride helped birth and later perfect (see Turn Loose the Swans) the doom/death genre in the early ’90s. By the late ’90s, however, the lineup that left a seismic impact on extreme metal began to crumble. The band has admirably carried on since further cementing their legend, even in spite of perhaps their

Greetings,Decibel readers! This is truly an eclectic day for new releases, as we’ve got standbys like death-doom and death-thrash here alongside some New York Hardcore and classic 1970s revivalism. Perhaps you like one of these styles. Maybe you like all of them! And, well, if you like none of them, why’d you click this article?

Rochester iconoclastsSulacoare quite possibly one of the best kept secrets in underground metal. Fronted by fret wizard Erik Burke (ex-Brutal Truth,Nuclear Assault,Lethargyand many more), this quintet has been busy obliterating genre lines for over 20 years. We’resoenamored by their technical wizardry that the Decibel Flexi Series is proud to present “Curtains,” an exclusive track only
